Re: [libreoffice-users] Export PDF

Two other ways

1 - Try
File>Export>
choose PDF for the format
Then work with the options to see what works for you.

2- Use an external PDF printer

doPDF for Windows [free]
CUPS-PDF for Linux.

Those PDF printers have some good things and bad things.  CUPS-PDF will 
only print as Portrait so Landscape is viewed sideways.  IT is meant to 
keep the paper/image as it would be as a physical printer, which is 
Portrait paper feeding.

SO if Export to PDF is causing problems, then try #1 and if that does 
not help, add the external PDF printers.

Works for me.  My default printer on Ubuntu is CUPS_PDF and on Windows 
is doPDF.
